Close your eyes, now picture yourself with an ice-cold Mai Tai in your hand and the warm salty breeze on your face. You’re surrounded by tropical fish, seahorses, dolphins and vibrant coral as far as the eye can see… and you’re in the friggin’ desert. If you geeked out over…

Don’t you just love when ancient traditions find their way into the middle of cutting edge technology? If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you’re not alone. That rarely ever happens, unless you’re in the neon glow of Las Vegas. In a repeat of East meets West entertainment,…

¡Viva Mexico! It’s Cinco de Mayo! And what does that mean? We’re marking the victory of Mexican troops over the French during the Battle of Puebla, NOT celebrating their Independence Day (which is in September). And how are we doing it? By throwing the madre-load of parties so you can…

Twenty years is definitely a huge milestone. In celebration of the Stratosphere’s towering presence, we’re sharing our 20 favorite things and tidbits…

It’s safe to say that Vegas, by definition, could be considered its own roadside attraction. It’s in the middle of nowhere, not all that easy to get to and definitely a bit of an oddball. The truth is, we can’t really use the traditional definition so we’ve scoured the city…

Just when we thought we couldn’t love the Fountains of Bellagio any more than we already did, they produced something so over-the-top last year that we couldn’t help but want their name tattooed on our hindquarters. If you’ve been having withdrawals, then I’m happy to report the powers that be heard our…

So you want a picture of the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada” sign. Good idea. It’s a Sin City tradition that’s been making cameos in vacation photos for more than half a century. But there are a few things you should know before you get there. Here’s a list…

Obsessed with cars? Me too. Few things get people all hot and bothered the way big headlights and a nice rear end do…OK maybe a couple other things, but you get the point. The Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts has opened a new exhibit at the Hollywood…

Hey Vegas Virgin! Yeah, I’m talking to you. For one reason or another, you’ve yet to step foot in this wild and crazy town, but sooner or later, you’ll cave and come see what all the hype is about. When you do, the first thing you want to know is that…

WTF happened to Daryl? Whew, now that I’ve got that off my chest I feel like we can have a semi-civilized conversation about this. If you’re like me, still reeling from last week’s episode of “The Walking Dead,” you’re probably a ball of nerves waiting for the finale and wondering…

In a time of glossy and glamorous portraits where even the slightest blemish is photoshopped away, one man reminds us that part of our humanity is our flaws. Yousuf Karsh may have passed away in 2002, but his ability to capture the essence of his subjects through their portraiture remains.…

It’s kind of hard to tell which season it is when Vegas is always warm and sunny. Thankfully, the Palazzo Waterfall Atrium and the Bellagio Conservatory never fail to remind us with their seasonal displays. In a town that isn’t really fit to grow tomatoes, they manage to cultivate whatever…

Just because you can spend a mortgage payment on tours while you’re in Vegas, doesn’t mean you have to. Consider us your fiscally responsible friends who always watch your back. Here are 18 tours that you can actually afford to check out, all for under $100. The Strip Cost: $37-$99 Think you…

Some of the most underappreciated Vegas photo attractions are – wait for it – parking garages. You probably don’t think there’s much to see in a parking garage, and that’s totally untrue, especially if you’ve ever watched a Vegas episode of “COPS.” JK. The rooftops are actually great places to…

Remember how everyone got excited about the new girl in school? The moment she walked into the room, she captured everyone’s attention with her beauty, style and ease. Fast forward years later: Vegas has a new woman on the Strip and this beauty is here to stay. If you’ve heard anything…

Every four years you get an extra 24 hours to be awesome. Today is that day, my friend – so don’t screw this up. If it’s your birthday, Vegas is really bending over backwards to make it up to you. There’s no easy way to put this, but you look…

While the rest of the country is wondering how many inches of snow they’re going to get before spring finally arrives, we’re contemplating how to avoid those pesky tan lines from our bikini jewelry. And this is why Vegas is one of the most popular spring break destinations in the…

Last fall the torrential rains had a devastating effect on the barren topography in Death Valley. The flash flooding that hit the region caused more than $20 million dollars in damages, washing away parts of the road that lead to our beloved Scotty’s Castle, closing it for the foreseeable future. But…

Addicted to car porn? Can’t say that I blame you — cars are very sexy machines. If you can’t relate, maybe that’s because you’ve never heard the growl of a big block motor or felt it rumble through your chest, just waiting to unleash raw power. If talking about this…

It’s safe to say that Vegas is a lot of fun no matter how old you are, but the experiences are very different depending on your age. Some of you expect the crème de la crème and others think it’s perfectly acceptable to eat the smashed candy bar you found under your car…

Stop acting like you haven’t deliberately staged an Instagram shot. We all have. Whether or not you want to admit it, it doesn’t change the fact that we all cry a little inside when our favorite pics don’t get #InstaLove. There are only a handful of cities that slay social…

The paper lanterns are strung, the branches of the wishing trees are readied and we’ve got our most comfy dancing shoes on. It’s the Year of the Monkey, but you may know it as Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival, or that time of year Vegas rolls…
